《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 20: Splitting Dimensions
Advertisement
"May I cut in?" Asked Wander.
Wide shot, he and Entozoa begin doing a funny dance.
"Oh, my! You are a wild one, Wandy! Whee!" Exclaimed Queen Entozoa.
On the last word, Wander dances by himself for a few seconds, before going back to dancing with Entozoa as Peepers rushes up. Cut to just behind his shoulder as Lord Hater gestures Wander, now dancing by himself, and pounds his fists together. Cut to behind Wander's shoulder as Peepers salutes and fires up his blaster. Again, Sylvia's tail grabs hold of him; cut to her as she holds a plate of sandwiches as she wolfs them down.
She holds Peepers toward the Black Cube of Darkness which was floating next to her. In the close-up, Peepers tries to look away but Sylvia pushes him toward it. The Black Cube starts speaking his mantra while the camera pans to the left with Seismo watching awkwardly and fearfully at the situation. Cut to a close-up of Seismo as he looks at his tart.
He then shrugs, takes off his mouthpiece which reveals a real mouth behind it and then he throws the tart into his mouth and starts chewing on it. Widen to frame Sylvia as she tilts the plate toward her and the sandwiches fall into her mouth. Cut back to Wander and Entozoa dancing together, Lord Hater comes up in the center and butt bumps Wander away, causing the camera to zoom out slowly.
"May I cut in?" Asked Lord Hater.
Lord Hater then does a rather poor version of Wander's dance, but his moves end up causing pain to Entozoa as bones can be heard breaking throughout. Cut to a close-up of his smiling face; he looks upward as it drops into confusion. Cut to a slow pan across the attendees, each showing looks/sounds of confusion, horror, and shock. Cut to the four mixels with Seismo putting his mouthpiece back on and covering his eye with his plate and the Flains face-palming with Krader also face-palming right after but due to using his stronger arm to face-palm himself, he ends up falling right onto a table, causing it to break in half and him to yelp.
Cut back to Lord Hater's face as his eyes turn toward Entozoa, cut to his perspective of her being shaken around by his grip.
"Oh, no!" Yelped Lord Hater.
Her head hangs low, side view of Lord Hater
"No, no! I gotta save this, what can I do? What can I do?" Worried Lord Hater.
"*gasp* I know!"
He gets his lips puckered up and leans out of frame. Cut to Entozoa as Lord Hater gives her a passionate kiss. Cut to a slow pan across the shocked attendees; Emperor Awesome faints. Seismo puts his plate off his eye and Krader gets up, but then when they see Lord Hater kissing Queen Entozora, they gasp and then faint, causing Krader and Seismo to crash onto the table once more, making the table break for the second time.
Cut so a side view of the two whereas Entozoa releases herself from Lord Hater's grip.
"WHAT ARE YA DOING? I'M ONE THOUSAND YEARS OLD!" Shouted Queen Entozoa.
Cut to just behind her shoulder.
"But- bu- but- but... you don't look more than four hundred!" Said Lord Hater.
Needle scratch, cut to a view of Entozoa from under his arm.
"Desperate! Weak! Pathetic! I can't stand desperate! The party is over! I HAVE MADE MY CHOICE!" Barked Queen Entozoa as she pointed to Lord Hater.
The guards come up, cut to the door as Lord Hater is dragged out by two of them. Everyone else except for Wander and Sylvia follow them.

"No, please! You can't give it to Wander, he's an idiot! He'll use it for good, NOT EVILLLL!!!" Begged Lord Hater.
Zoom out to frame Entozoa with Wander.
"Give me what?" Asked Wander.
"Wander, it is my wish to bequeath to you-" But before Queen Entozoa could finish, we suddenly hear an explosion as the two turn towards the door.
The camera then zooms in on it, green smoke explodes outward and flings the guards out of the way. One more explosion accompanied by a thunder clap, and Lord Hater appears, body surging with green light and hands electrifying. Close-up on him as he advances forward.
"Forget polite and proper. Forget witty and charming. I am NOT the ultimate gentleman!" Shouted Lord Hater.
He lets his right hand fire some lightning, cut to Wander as that zaps by his foot, flinging him away.
"WHOA!" Exclaimed Wander.
Cut to Krader and Seismo who both wakes up from their faints, and scream once they see Lord Hater in the air, menancingly floating with green electricity zooming all around him. Cut to a wide shot which frames Lord Hater.
"I am... Lord Hater, THE ULTIMATE EVIL! When I want something, I take it. And I... want... your power... NOW!!!" Barked Lord Hater.
The last word is accompanied with him bringing his hands together to make a sphere of light, followed by him reaching them out as lightning flares all over the place. Cut to Entozoa.
"Okay." Said Queen Entozoa.
Cut back to the wide shot as Lord Hater stops glowing.
"Huh? Really?" Questioned Lord Hater.
"Oh, such strength! Such force." Embraced Queen Entozoa as she dipped Lord Hater.
"Oh, so we are doing the kissing thing, then?" Asked Lord Hater.
Cut to just behind Lord Hater's shoulder.
"I will enjoy inhabiting your body so much better than this old hag's." Said Queen Entozoa in a sinister, manlier voice.
Cut to Lord Hater.
"Yes! W-wait, what?" Realized Lord Hater.
Wide shot, Entozoa's mouth opens outward, releasing a purple, smoky spirit in the shape of a dragon's head.
"Oh yes, Lord Hater, that's the catch. Just as I did with the queen, when I bequeath my empire to a vessel, they may control my power, but I will control them for the next one thousand years!" Warned the spirit.
Wide shot, the spirit works its way down Lord Hater's throat, leaving his eyes and inside of his mouth glowing pink. He grabs his throat and jitters around, gagging. Widen to reveal a weary Wander as he feels his head, he notices the action and snaps in shock.
"*gasp* Lord Hater!" Shouted Wander.
Cut back to Lord Hater as Wander rushes up and grabs hold of his body, squeezing it three times. On the third, the spirit is released from its throat, cut to it being flung through the air.
"NOOOOOOO!!!" Screamed the spirit.
Cut to the four mixels as Seismo and Krader gasp in shock from seeing the spirit fall seemingly towards Sylvia while the Flains watch in shock with Other Flain fainting.
"HORSE LADY!" Shouted Krader and Seismo.
Krader and Seismo then started digging through the floor while following the spirit. Cut to Sylvia next to a cocktail table with a goblet and carousel, munching and holding a sandwich with two olives on sticks. Krader and Seismo then shot out of the ground, causing Sylvia to fly into the air.
"WE SA-" Suddenly, the spirit landed into Krader's mouth, causing his eyes to glow pink and also causing him to roll onto the ground, hitting the wall and stopping right next to where Sylvia was about to land.

Meanwhile, Seismo landed onto his feet and looked around for Sylvia.
"WE SAVE YOU, HORSE LA-.." Shouted Seismo before realizing that Sylvia was already laying on the ground right next to Krader who was currently getting possessed by the spirit, aka choking from the spirit being in his throat.
"Oh, nevermind." Said Seismo.
Cut to Sylvia and Krader where Sylvia is getting up from her position and stretching her back while Krader, now fully possessed with his eyes still currently glowing purple, is looking at his own body but as he looks at himself, his expression slowly turns to one of sheer anger.
"YOU TURNED ME INTO A TALKING ROCK, FOR THE NEXT THOUSAND YEARS!?" Barked Possessed!Krader with a slight Englsih accent as he pointed towards Wander.
Cut to Wander looking at him with a confused look upon his face. Later, Rokit floats down with an equally confused look on both him and the nixel.
"..Krader?" Asked Rokit, now confused by Krader's new (and apparently better) vocabulary.
"" Screamed Possessed!Krader.
Cut back to Wander and Rokit as Rokit and the nixel's expression changes from confused to concerned.
"..Ahem, " Shouted Rokit while waving his arms in the air.
Cut to outside the palace as lasers blast from the door. Lord Hater rushes out, holding Peepers in his fists. Peeper's is eye is now back to normal but he looks very weak and exhausted. Sylvia comes out next with Wander on her back.
Rokit comes out third with Flain under his right arm while the left arm is latching onto his brain, keeping it from falling off, and his right pincer is currently holding the nixel's bird cage. Other Flain and Seismo come right after Rokit and Flain, and then the servants come last.
"Whoo-oo, heck of a party, huh?" Admitted Wander.
"Wander, Krader get possessed and Rokit and nixel banned from dinner party." Reminded Seismo.
"Oh. Well, at least they're not hangin' out in the ceiling anymore!" Shrugged Wander.
In close-up, he takes off his hat and gets out a bottle of orbble juice, and he blows an orbble around he, Seismo, Other Flain, and Sylvia. Cut to a wide shot as they float upward.
"HEY, WAIT! WHAT ABOUT US!?" Shouted Rokit as he floated towards the orbble.
Cut to a wide-shot of Rokit and the orbble.
"Oh, sorry! Come on into the orbble!" Apologized Wander.
Rokit, the nixel, and Flain look at the otbble in confusion.
"You do realize the bubble's gonna pop if we touch it, right?" Questioned Flain.
"No it's not, you're thinkin' of bubbles! This is an orbble!" Corrected Wander.
Wander then grabbed Rokit's left arm and pulled him towards the orbble, causing him, Flain, and the nixel to now be in the orbble along with Seismo, Sylvia, Wander, and Other Flain. Cut to Possessed!Krader as he points towards the sky.
"RUN YOU FOOLS, BUT MARK MY WORDS! I will find you and YOU WILL PAY!" Warned Possessed!Krader.
Pause, widen to frame the ampomorphic shark, aka Emperor Awesome, as a servant lowers the plate.
Let's get awesome
"So, you're a rock man, now? I'm totally into that." Asked Emperor Awesome.
He gets zapped by the scepter of the servant, and he gets flung out of the scene, babbling slightly. Zoom in on Possessed!Krader as the background flares red.
"EVIL ROCK MAAAAAAN!" Corrected Possessed!Krader.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to Wander walking in the orbble, pushing it forward with Rokit, the nixel, the Flains, Seismo, and Sylvia standing in said orbble while Lord Hater's skull-like ship flies off in the background.
"You guys have to admit, that was the BEST dinner party I've ever been to this season.. of our lives!" Gushed Wander.
"I mean, the music was jammin', the food was de-lish, the queen was so beautiful, I quite literally loved EVERY part of the party tonight!"
"How can you love it? All of us nearly got killed!" Questioned Rokit.
"And we survived!" Continued Wander.
"But we still got nearly killed. Not to mention Krader got possessed." Reminded Other Flain.
"Yeah, and the queen wasn't even that nice, she literally forced us to be all fancy." Agreed Flain.
"Well, you know what they say, manners make the man!" Said Wander as the background started to glitch.
"..Wander, I'm pretty sure that isn't how it goes but I guess it's close enough." Reminded Sylvia as the background started to glitch a bit harder.
As the background glitched harder, a few of the group inside of the orbble looked around. Suddenly, instead of being outside Queen Entozoa's kingdom, the orbble and everyone in it was now in Mixopolis. The city was ever so shining with every color of the rainbow, the people in it were all so unique, and Wander was mesmerized by all of the city's best qualities. Wander's pupils widened at the sight of the whole city and his mouth hung wide open as the orbble moved along the road.
Noticing Wander getting distracted by the entire city, Sylvia started poking Wander.
"Hey, Wander? You okay there?" Asked Sylvia.
"Rainbow-opolis..." Muttered Wander.
"..Not sure if that's it's name, but okay." Said Rokit.
Cut to a wide-shot of the orbble as it drifted past various buildings, but later on, it stopped with a "skrrrt" noise.
"GUYS, WE HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS!" Gasped Wander.
Suddenly, the orbble speeded to the ground, and then it moved slightly upwards and then it stopped once again, this time behind a restaurant with no name where a Wiztastic mixel was laying against the window, his head and his hands hanging down almost as if he had died. After that, the orbble then popped and then the camera zoomed out, revealing many mixels standing still in place. Some of these mixels looked like they were about to walk somewhere, others looked like they were running away from something while gripping onto a gray cubit, and then others looked like they were standing still with a bland expression upon their faces.
"Look at this, everyone's so cute AND I JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT!" Gushed Wander.
(A/N: This line is a reference to what Wander says when he first meets Peepers.)
Wander then zipped around the block, looking at the various frozen mixels in excitement.
"Hey, Wander, get back here!" Called Sylvia, not wanting Wander to get lost.
Sylvia then ran after Wander while everyone else looked at the frozen mixels with a slight feeling of fear creeping up their backs.
"Okay, we have to stick together because we ain't losin' each other, got it? We can't end up gettin' possessed or somethin' like what happened to Krader." Reminded Rokit.
"Right, but where is we?" Asked Seismo.
"Right now, we don't know, but we gotta stay in one group just in case somethin' pops up." Said Rokit.
The four mixels then walked towards the direction Sylvia took and looked at the environment with worry. Sure the whole place was colorful and cheery, but what was unsettling was that everyone seemed frozen in place. Seismo shuddered as he saw a nixed Muncho with a face on his stomach stay still as it held out a strange, gray cubit and the Flains looked confused as they saw nixels stay still while running towards something in an alley. Rokit's expression grew from stern to shocked as he noticed a frozen Nurp-Naut with desaturated colors, nixels on his head, a gray cubit in hand, and instead of there being a second face behind him, there was a white space on his space helmet.

8 75Mystic Nan
Note: Currently undergoing rewrite, we'll be back soon!(If you enjoy this story, it would help immensely if you considered voting for it at topwebfiction, thank you.) Nan Beauchamp, like many youths of the year 2000-something; will live, work, and die as less than a footnote of a footnote within the abridged history of unremarkable years. This suits her fine. Too bad about the truck that turned her into paste, then. Luckily, or unluckily, fate deigned to give the poor girl another chance to make something of herself in a bizarre universe brimming with magic, spaceships, and... giant talking spiders? This "second chance" seems less than ideal. (A web serial import from Wordpress)
